WhatsApp support for parents after a child’s organ transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This program pairs parents together using WhatsApp—experienced parents (mentors) and newer parents (mentees). It aims to help parents cope and adjust after a child’s solid organ transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a parent of a child under 18 (for mentee) or under 21 (for mentor) who had a solid organ transplant.
- The transplant needs to be healing for at least 2 months (if you’re the mentee) or at least 1 year (if you’re the mentor).
- You must be comfortable speaking in English.
- You need access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer that can use free WhatsApp.
- You must be nominated by your child’s healthcare team to be a mentor (if you want to mentor).
